AMD Catalyst 11.7 Driver Analysis

Another month has passed, so it seems and that means a lot of things to many people. For me, it's the next chapter in my life as my first daughter is due to be born any day. For others it means the middle of summer is here and for the tech world it means that AMD have released another set of drivers. In typical AMD fashion as of late, a monthly driver update has been released with bug fixes for a variety of things including video playback including HD footage, feature improvements and more importantly to us; bug fixes and improvements where it matters the most, and that is of course, games. Whilst Catalyst 11.7 has been released, it's also worth noting that Catalyst 11.8 preview has also been let loose to the public, but we will wait to look at that when it becomes official. For now, it's time to get down to it and to take a look at what 11.7 is all about and if it makes for any improvements in our benchmarks and games.
